Well I am helping program an hour long show on some radio station in Massachusetts. I have included a few tunes from some modern acts (like Wilco and Ryan Adams) and I would to include MMJ but I am having a hard time picking a song. It needs to be around 5 mins or less, its ok to go to 6 but no more than that. I am not sure if I should pick a new song off EU or if I should go for a classic off AD or ISM or even Z. Any input or thoughts would be great.
So far I have considered:
I'm Amazed
Smokin From Shootin
Bermuda Highway
The Way That He Sings
Golden
One Big Holiday!!!
It Beats 4 You
Off The Record
What song would you like to hear?
I would say Golden, Gideon or Smokin' From Shootin'.

I'm going to suggest Wordless Chorus. 1) it clocks in at 4:13 2) It really sums up Jim's vocal ability, songwriting genius, and the bands ability to make some great music with different sounds. A larger audience perhaps can be met with a Wordless Chorus.
Don't forget Aluminum Park
Why not just take up the whole hour with Cobra, Live Steam Engine and Live Dondante?
I would love to put at least live cobra, but I have to stick to the station guidelines. A friend of mine worked for them for 10 years or so and he is doing a special hour for them and asked me to help fill in some songs. I gave him a copy of MMJ a few weeks back and he thought they would fit perfect into the hour. I'm just trying to find the right song to throw in there.
But I would shit myself if I heard cobra on the radio.
Wordless Chorus (a perfect, who-the-hell-was-that-and-how-can-I- hear-more song)
Phone Went West..........or Golden. I would also play Smokin form Shootin off their new one.
....The Way That He Sings....to me that song is like the bands anthem....
Chalk up another tally mark for...'The Way That He Sings'
play HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS!!!
make waves (radio waves?) by playing the mmj that has caused the biggest dividing line of love/hate.
you'll be assured 50% will love it! :D
The Way That He Sings... definitely.
I agree with The Way That He Sings, but use the version from Okonokos!
war begun, lowdown, just one thing, touch me pt 1
I say Josta Dreams and Bitter Hands or Can You See The Hard Helmet On My Head?
